CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—Dartmouth scored two
goals in each period to overcome two tallies by Daniel Moriarty and
defeat the Harvard men's hockey team, 6-2, in a non-league
matchup between the old Ivy League rivals Sunday afternoon at
Bright Hockey Center. It was the Big Green's first win at
Bright since 1996, ending Harvard's 13-game home series win
streak.
Moriarty scored twice on the power play, with Alex Fallstrom and
Michael Biega assisting on both goals. Ryan Carroll made 34 saves
for the Crimson (1-6-2). Dartmouth got two goals and an assist from
Scott Flemming, four points from Adam Estoclet and 27 saves from
Jody O'Neill. The Big Green held a 41-29 shots advantage.
Dartmouth scored twice in the opening period. Fleming had the
first goal at 9:58, burying a wrist shot high to the blocker side
on a rush up the right side. Dustin Walsh made it 2-0 on another
rush up the ice, moving from right to left and tucking the puck
between the legs of Carroll. Each team had one unsuccessful power
play in the frame. O'Neill kept Harvard off the board with an
outstanding save. He got his toe on the puck to stone Marshall
Everson after Fallstrom threaded a pass through traffic to Everson
at the right post.
Harvard cut the lead in half less than a minute into the period on
Moriarty's power-play goal. He got the puck from Biega in the
right corner and passed to Fallstrom at the left point. The
freshman's shot was knocked down in front, but Moriarty
stepped in to put away the rebound. Dartmouth, however, extended
the lead to 4-1 in the final five minutes of the period. Evan
Stephens scored the third goal on a rebound in the slot, and Adam
Estoclet tallied the fourth with a shot into the top left corner on
the rush just 37 seconds later.
The Crimson again struck first in the third period, only to see
the Big Green again answer with two scores. Moriarty scored his
second goal at 3:35 of the period. He ripped a one-timer from the
low slot past O'Neill after Fallstrom got the puck from Biega
and centered it from the right corner. Fleming, however, netted his
second goal barely a minute later, and Josh Gilliam added an
empty-netter in the final two minutes. Harvard outshot Dartmouth,
14-12, in the final frame.
